Volume and Pan Automation – Dynamic Events or

Monitor Mixer

Cubase VST offers two ways of automating volume and pan: the Dynamic Events

set in the Audio Editor and the Write function in the Monitor Mixer. The two meth-

ods have their speciﬁc properties and uses, as described below:

Dynamic Events

The Dynamic events allow you to control the volume and panning individually for

each segment. This allows you to create fade-ins, fade-outs and auto-pan effects,

which are then integral parts of each segment. This is all done in the Audio Editor,

see page 274.

What this means is that if you for example create a volume curve for one segment,

and later copy this segment for use in other places in the song, all copies will “in-

herit” the volume curve of the original segment. You can later adjust the curve for

each individual segment, if needed.

A more advanced possibility is to use Ghost events. These are audio events which

all share a segment, and thereby share a volume or pan curve. This means that if

one is adjusted, they are all affected. See page 351.

● If you use the Dynamic Events to control volume, you cannot boost the s ignal

above unity gain (0.0 dB).

Monitor Mixer Automation

Using the Write function in the Monitor mixer you can automate Volume and Pan-

ning (actually all mixer settings and changes) for each audio channel. All Tracks in

the Arrange window that are set to play back via this audio channel will be affected

likewise by these controls. This method is described on the following pages.

Let’s say, as an example, that one channel is ﬁrst used for a guitar and later in the

song for vocals. If you then use the Monitor window to lower the volume in the gui-

tar intro, you will get the same lower volume for the vocal, since they are on the

same channel.

When you are using the Monitor mixer to control volume, you can go above unity

gain (actually amplify the sound). Furthermore, you can automate Mutes and So-

los.

Conclusion

So, when to use Dynamic Events and when to use the Monitor Mixer depends on

what is needed at the moment; if you need to make minute adjustment of shorter

segments and repeat those in the Song, you should choose Dynamic Events. If you

make longer non-repeating recordings and prefer to adjust volumes via (on-screen)

faders, you use the Monitor window.
